Abstract:

A method and apparatus for positioning and supporting the work platform of a mobile workover rig is disclosed. The work platform of the preferred embodiment of the present invention utilizes a unique support structure and automated positioning system for positioning the work platform at the desired height above the wellhead equipment. The preferred embodiment of the present invention utilizes a specialized automated “pinning” system that secures the work platform at the desired height. Additionally, the present invention utilizes one or more support cylinders to position and support the work platform in the horizontal position over the wellhead equipment. The automated positioning and pinning system of the present invention is a unique system that significantly reduces the time required to position the work platform of a mobile workover rig in the operating position, as well as significantly reduces the risk of injury to rig personnel assisting in the positioning operations.

US Classification:

381300, 381334, 381306, 381123

Abstract:

Computer-implemented methods are provided. One method includes determining an orientation of a display of a portable system. The method also includes altering an orientation of two speakers arranged along one side of the system based on the orientation of the display. Another method includes determining an orientation of a display of a portable system and determining an orientation of two speakers of the system based on the orientation of the display. If a current orientation of the two speakers differs from the determined orientation of the two speakers, the method includes altering the current orientation of the speakers such that they have the determined orientation. A portable system is also provided that includes means for determining an orientation of a display of the system. The system also includes means for altering an orientation of two speakers arranged along one side of the system based on the orientation of the display.

International Classification:

G09G 128

US Classification:

250221

Abstract:

A touch entry system employing arrays of emitter and detector opto devices located around the periphery of an irradiated field detects intrusion of an opaque element such as a stylus within the field. The detector analog output is converted to a digital signal for input into a microprocessor. Digital signals input into the microprocessor can vary due to inconsistencies in conventional opto devices. A programmable amplifier responsive to the microprocessors preconditions the analog signals prior to analog to digital conversion to bring all digital signals corresponding to the unblocked emitter beam condition within a normalized range before input into the microprocessor.

Assignee:

Compaq Computer Corporation - Houston TX

International Classification:

G09G 500

US Classification:

345132

Abstract:

A liquid crystal display (LCD) panel which has its contrast controlled through the use of a pulse width modulation (PWM) circuit contained in the video controller and a contrast control circuit. In response to a particular video refresh mode, the PWM circuit modulates the pulse width of a signal that is an input to the contrast control circuit. The pulse width is changed by the use of a base contrast register and two offset registers. Depending on the video mode, the base register is used alone or is combined with one of the offset registers to provide a signal to indicate the duty cycle of the signal. The pulse width modulated signal is converted to a DC bias contrast voltage which is provided to the LCD panel.
